Pelosi Is Not ‘Deranged’ — Swastikas And Comparisons To Hitler Are On Display At Town Hall Protests
Pelosi Is Not ‘Deranged’ — Swastikas And Comparisons To Hitler Are On Display At Town Hall Protests
Earlier this week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) came under heavy criticism from the right wing for her dismissal of the town hall tea parties as nothing but “Astroturf.” She also noted the disturbing fact that participants have been “carrying swastikas and symbols like that.”
The conservative site Wizbang called her claim a “crock.” Rush Limbaugh said that Pelosi was “deranged” and accused her of calling conservatives “Nazis.” He then, however, went on to note the similarities between Democrats and Nazis:
The Speaker of the House accusing people showing up at these town hall meetings of wearing Swastikas — that is not insignificant folks. This woman is deranged. They are unraveling. But that is not insignificant. You have the Democrat Speaker of the House saying that people — citizens — who are concerned about health care are now wearing Swastikas. She’s basically saying that we are Nazis. She is saying that the people who oppose this are Nazis. [...]
This party, the Democrat Party, and where it’s taken this country — the radical left leadership of this party — bears much more resemblance to Nazi policies than anything we on the right believe in at all.
Pelosi did not seem to be calling conservative protesters Nazis, but rather calling attention to the disturbing number of Nazi references at these tea party protests. A few examples:
The intent of these displays is to portray Obama as Hitler and his proposals as fascist, and they seem to be following the lead of many right-wing pundits. Just yesterday, Limbaugh said, “Adolf Hitler, like Barack Obama, also ruled by dictate.” Fox News host Glenn Beck — an inspiration for many of these town hall attendees — has said “fascism is on the rise.” Even Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) has talked about the increasing danger in America of “true fascism.”
This August recess isn’t the first time we’ve seen these displays at tea parties either. Signs comparing Obama to Hitler or other global dictators were prominent at the tea parties a few months ago as well.
Regardless of the political differences and the substantive differences in the debate over health care, the use of Nazi symbolism is outrageous, offensive and inappropriate. Americans should be able to disagree on the issues without coloring it with Nazi imagery and comparisons to Hitler. This is not where the debate should be at all.Foxman also criticized Limbaugh's comparison of Democrats to Nazis, saying, "Comparisons to the Nazis are deeply offensive and only serve to diminish and trivialize the extent of the Nazi regime’s crimes against humanity and the murder of six million Jews and millions of others in the Holocaust. I don’t see any comparison here. It’s off-center, off-issue and completely inappropriate.

Where’s the problem with pointing out the hate that these pictures and symbols of an era of hatred and violence represent?
It might be nice if they actually understood that liberals are more closely related to socialists such as stalin than hitler. That it is the right who behaves and believes in a similar was as hitler and facists throughout history.

Just look at the idiots at these Town Hall Meetings and you get the idea that they don’t have a clue what ‘Fascism’ is.
These are the ignorant racists who truly don’t have a clue to what the Health Care bill will be, they are only doing this because their side lost and they are racists.
They are angry that Dems won and more angry that the President is half black, they will never calm down, we are in for 7 years of this crap.
Hopefully they will get police at these events and throw out people who are simply there to cause trouble.

____________________________________________________________
I don’t see Pelosi’s charge as disingenuous at all. She said that protesters were “carrying swastikas”. The pictures show that to be true. And accurate.
Pelosi didn’t say these people were Nazis. She stated something these pictures show to be a fact. Try going by her actual words instead of Limbaugh’s claim of what she implied.
August 7th, 2009 at 12:14 pmI think the real outrage here should not be the association of these people to the “non-swastikas” they carry to these meetings. The real outrage is that people are using Nazi symbolism PERIOD.
You can only look to the past for associations for so long. The comparisons of ANYONE–Democratic, Republican, or Independent–to the Nazi party and Hitler MUST STOP.
That’s what Pelosi is getting at here. She’s not associating the protestors to Nazism. She’s pointing out that the other side is going so far as to associate Obama and Democrats to Nazism by bringing up the sacriligious symbol.
That’s the protest you should be taking from this. NO ONE should be compared to Hitler or the Nazis.

No, Daryll, you didn’t say “certain sectors”. You said “Government should stay out of certain parts of our industry”
I’m trying to draw a bead what “parts of our industry” you think government should stay out of, and what parts it should embrace. “Private sector” doesn’t really tell me anything.
Is law enforcement a “part of industry” that is appropriate for government to engage in?
And if government is as inescapably inefficient as you say, why would you consent to involving it in such critical public services as keeping our persons and property safe?
August 7th, 2009 at 12:16 pmbackup you are such a disingenuous as shole. You know damned well (if you read exactly what Pelosi said and NOT what Limbag told you she said) that she is concerned about these Clown Hallbaggers equating Obama with Hitler and nazis. She is NOT calling them nazis, she is well aware of the buster sign and point they are making. It is a false accusation (surprise, surprise) brought on by White Wing spin and sold to you sheeple that what the Administration is doing equates to the Third Reich. Her point is that you sorry as sed fools fall for the spin hook line and sinker every time. You and your ilk are the epitomy of the low information voter.

“It makes no difference whatever whether they laugh at us or revile us, whether they represent us as clowns or criminals; the main thing is that they mention us, that they concern themselves with us again and again, and that we gradually in the eyes of the workers themselves appear to be the only power that anyone reckons with at the moment. …”
“[O]ne can never count on protection on the part of the authorities; on the contrary, experience shows that it always and exclusively benefits the disturbers. For the sole actual result of intervention by the authorities-that is, the police-was at best to dissolve, in other words, to close the meeting. And that was the sole aim and purpose of the hostile disturbers.” [...]
“If through some sort of threats it becomes known to the authorities that there is danger of a meeting being broken up, they do not arrest the threateners, but forbid the others, the innocent, to hold the meeting, and what is more, the run-of-the-mill police mind is mighty proud of such wisdom. They call this a ‘precautionary measure for the prevention of an illegal act.’

August 7th, 2009 at 12:05 pm
________________
Actually, the symbol on the signs pictured above represents the creator god Brahma manifested as the evolution of the universe in Hinduism. They also represent strength and intelligence in Buddhism, the seventh arhat of the present age in Jainism, and has been used as a sun symbol in China and other parts of Asia. None of them are technically Nazi symbols, as the Nazi flag depicts the traditional svastika tilted at a 45-degree angle.
But that’s beside the point.
Assuming that the signs are indeed anti-Nazi instead of anti-Brahma, what Pelosi is taking offense to is not the fact that the protestors don’t like Hitler. If we were in Germany in the 1930s and these people were holding up anti-Nazi signs, it would be entirely appropriate.
However, it is not the 1930s, this is not Germany, and the Nazi party is not in power. The quite obvious implication is that President Obama is comparable to Hitler, and that the modern Democratic party and liberals in general are akin to Nazis. It is this type of rhetoric that has already gotten innocent people killed, and will no doubt be the cause of more violence in the weeks and months to come.

Of course, I didn’t have much to comment on this specific case, since the only information I had about it was from a very biased rightwing blogsite. But I did say I condemn violence no matter where it comes from.
I have to ask, though — why do you make a point of saying “the Black”? If the person was white, would you have said “the White beaten by Union Thugs”? Is his color somehow significant in this situation? Does his race make the violence worse? Was he attacked because he was black? What color were the “Union Thugs”?
Or are you just one of those who believe there are “people” and then there are “Black people” — and these are two completely separate nouns?

As much as the conservative fraction here is throwing the “Bush=Hitler” Progressive argument around, I don’t think it’s fair to make ANY association. I personally voiced my opposition to the use of Nazi imagery period, especially to Presidents.
To say that it was happening to Bush for the past eight years is also unfair. Was this being thrown around during…dare I say it…9/11? HARDLY. In the first six months of Bush’s presidency, I saw no real indication that the “Bush=Hitler” association was in play, yet these images are splashed at the town-hall meetings and thrown all over pundit radio and TV.
I will admit that I was disappointed when Bush was elected. However, I got on with my life. Some of these people are having trouble doing that.

August 7th, 2009 at 12:41 pmREPUBLICANS ARE AMERICA’S ENEMY WITHIN
Republicans ARE practicing seditious DEMAGOGUERY and insurrectionary OBSTRUCTIONISM intended to destabilize our economy for purposes of political exploitation.
Republicans AREN’T making a sincere effort to STOP the bleeding THEIR incompetent leadership and failed policies created. Instead, they’re using conflicting economic theories as a smokescreen to conceal their subversive agenda, which is to cause President Obama and America to fail so they can blame Democrats for the consequences of THEIR calamitous mismanagement.
Republicans ARE preposterously professing that THEIR disgraceful political WHORING had nothing to do with the banking, real estate, stock market and employment catastrophes that resulted.
Republicans ARE trying to hamstring Democrats to prevent them from repairing the damage caused during a Republican presidency.
Republicans ARE offering controversial arguments they know no one can agree on to disrupt and prevent progressive change. They’d rather divide America and create political gridlock than endure the political consequences of effective Democratic governance. That’s how they gained power and that’s how they’re trying to retain it.
Republicans AREN’T the LOYAL OPPOSITION; they ARE the ENEMY WITHIN whose personal priorities have eroded their moral and ethical standards to the point that duplicity and betrayal are their preferred modus operandi.
It’s one thing to advocate their conservative beliefs; it’s another thing entirely to willfully sabotage America’s government because a successful Democratic presidency would not be vulnerable to the greed, fears and hatreds that have produced and sustained the radical Republican corporatism and extremism that have poisoned and crippled America.

If you place political ideology on a continuum, to the right of center are the conservatives. On that same area would be placed the Nazis. Both the conservatives and the Nazis are pro military/industrial supporters as key to the government structure. Hitler was supported by the military/industrial complex. If any one group is a Nazi it would be the Republican Party and their leaders. PS By the way,Socialism/Communism are OPPOSITE of the Nazis. You can’t both a Nazi and a Socialist.

Instead of allowing government to take over the health industry, how about creating laws to prevent the health care industry industry from mistreating American citizens?
____________________________________________________________
This has been explained many times, and you still don’t get it. But I’ll try again, since I have a few minutes.
In the first place, the government is not trying to “take over” the health industry. This is a meme often repeated by health insurance providers and their followers, in an effort to get people to believe President Obama is proposing to turn us into the Soviet Union — where all medical care will be administered by government doctors, government hospitals, government health facilities, and all care must first go through the government for permission.
This isn’t the case. Neither the President nor anybody in Congress is suggesting anything remotely like that scenario. Nobody’s even suggesting a universal health care system similar to Canada or the United Kingdom.
What IS being suggested is a public health plan, administered by the government, that would operate in the marketplace along with private insurers. It would be similar to Medicare, in that insureds would still go get their care from private doctors and private hospitals — same as they do now. The government would only be providing the insurance — not the actual health care. Unlike Medicare, the plan would be available to anyone who wants it, regardless of age. But like Medicare, the insureds would be required to pay for it. Those who cannot pay for their insurance would be fully or partially subsidized by the government, similar to Medicaid.
Now, about your suggestion that we create “laws to prevent the health care industry industry from mistreating American citizens” — wow, what a great idea (smacking forehead)! Why didn’t somebody think of that before?
Because if we made laws to force health insurance companies to do what needs to be done (you must accept people with pre-existing conditions, you must not drop people just because they file a claim or become too expensive, there’s a limit as to how much you can charge for premiums, and you must not limit the services you cover below a set of established basics), they would scream that they weren’t being allowed to operate their business freely. And they’d have a point.
By giving them some competition instead, they could still operate their business as they see fit (although the models of the bill I’ve seen so far indicate there may be some regulation of industry players), but competition will encourage them to be more efficient and provide more to their customers.
Which would you rather see? Insurance companies hamstrung by a lot of regulations? Or motivated by competition?
August 7th, 2009 at 12:45 pmbackup, whatever our political differences may be, I think it’s great to see a post like this. Well said and thanks for speaking up.

44″Then they will also answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn’t help you?’
45″Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you didn’t do it to one of the least of these, you didn’t do it to me.’ 46These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

looktothehills:
If the government isn’t involved in it, it is called “private sector.” The government literally can’t get involved in the “private sector” because once they are involved it is no longer private. So let’s clear up that little vocabular issue right away.
All industries were, at one time, “private sector” industries, yet the government clearly had need to involve themselves in some facets of the private sector in order to effectively live up to their mandate ofpromoting the general welfare (see military, mail service, school systems, utilties, highways….etc, etc, etc).
You need to be specific about which industries you object to government intervention, as history shows us very well that some things are much more effectively run by the government, which has no motivation via profit only in providing citizens with vital needs. Rarely, if ever, does government involvement entirely push out private industry, anyway (see UPS, private schools….etc, etc, etc).

You noticed the stench of failure too, no matter how hard tries to hide it, that stench follows poor pathetic Trajan everywhere.
It appears he recently had been exposted on the web for what he really is, by a large group from the right. At about the same time, he caught the eye of a certain ethnic group in Dearborn Michigan, which led Trajan to take a sabbatical from his War on Islam.
Trajan chooses to take his anger out on us, rather than learn a valuable life lesson. I would advise Trajan to cool it for a while, he has done himself enough damage already, and the last thing he needs his more attention.

You want to point to a reference in the Gospels, Daryll? Or is this just more of you making stuff up about Jesus?
I suspect it’s the latter, because that’s all you ever do. For someone claiming to be a Christian, your ignorance of the Bible is breath taking.
August 7th, 2009 at 1:01 pmDaryll, if government should stay out of health care, why are you proposing a change to it via your Congressman?
I suggest it’s time for a nap, D. Go “shake the devil off” and then have a nice lie-down. You’re gonna hurt yourself if you keep stumbling around like this.

August 7th, 2009 at 1:07 pmgummitch and ralph. You’re right about Limbaugh.
I pulled up the actual clip of Pelosi making the comment. It’s obvious that she is most likely objecting to the comparisons of Obama to Hitler at a healthcare protest and not pointing to the protestors as nazi sympathizers.
August 7th, 2009 at 1:08 pmI also suggest that if the fat blubbery people see a 15 percent increase the registered gun owners also assume an increase in their coverage due to their risk. Now if there are children in the household why don’t we make that like maybe 50%? What do you think looktothehills? Clearly those at higher risk should pay more…

August 7th, 2009 at 1:11 pmYou know who are Nazis. NAZIS ARE NAZIS. And that’s it.
All this fear BS about Nazis and socialism is without merit. Most of the beefs I’ve heard from the fear mongering mobs has already be debunked.
August 7th, 2009 at 1:12 pm131. buttercup sez:…
Buttercup, Nancy Pelosi said people were CARRYING swastikas and other symbols around – didn’t call anyone Nazi, did she?
Rush Limbaugh (or Pudge Limpdiddler, as I prefer to call him in slightly more rabid moments) said that Nancy Pelosi said people were WEARING swastikas.
There seems to be a difference there, to me. Pelosi’s remark is factual; if you look at the photos, people are carrying posters and placards with around with swastikas, Nazi name-calling crap, etc.
Limpdiddler is accusing Pelosi of calling those people Nazis, which is not the case at all. She didn’t.
If anything, in context, Pelosi probably understands quite well that the birther, anti-health care reform crowd is calling the administration and, by extension, the Democratic Party Nazis.
The congressional Democrats and the administration are, of course, not Nazis. They’re not ruling by fiat, and with regard to legislation, Baucus has bent over backward to accomodate the opposition.
But the opposition to reform, the astroturf operators and the rePublicrites are operating exactly like Nazis; they’re hiring and encouraging people to behave like “stormtroopers”, the Nazi SD, in trying to shut down honest argument and discussion.
If the opposition succeeds, you can expect that health care reform will not be revisited for more than a decade and that “health care” will increasingly be available only to a privileged class. Things will be back to “normal” in our great country. You’ll just pay out the nose as you go because there won’t be any insurance risk pool to be part of. Your doctor may be competent or may be a quack; you won’t know until after the fact, but there won’t be any recourse if he’s the latter. We’ll eventually get to where we were, say, around the turn of the century, the 19th century, when there was no law, no regulation, regarding medical matters. Something to really look forward to…
August 7th, 2009 at 1:12 pmnow as to those idiotic states that think choosing to not wear a hemit on a motorcycle is freedom I suggest another let’s say 35%. Smokers? 75%. What do you think looktothehills? Anyone that eats at Applebee’s clearly that out to be a solid 75% doncha think…
August 7th, 2009 at 1:13 pmOne more good quote, this one from Rev. Tony Campolo:
“To recreate Jesus in your own image rather than allowing yourself to be created in Jesus’ image is what’s wrong with politics.”
August 7th, 2009 at 1:14 pmMurka is the ONLY nation in the developed world in which the right could even TRY to pull this shit.
Only in Murka, where history is regarded as either irrelevant or trivial, could the fascists accuse their opponents of fascism without any public or media outcray about their dishonesty…
August 7th, 2009 at 1:14 pmI asked for lean corned beef so I think I should see no increase. Plus I am riding my bike to the restaurant so I figure a reduction of 7% is reasonable… See ya soon crazy zany people…
August 7th, 2009 at 1:16 pmThe problem with the health debate is simple. White people, especially lower and lower-middle class white people, do not want to extend benefits to the “undeserving” minorities.
That’s the text-book definition of ‘institutional’ (as if there were any other kind) “RACISM!”

Instead of allowing government to take over the health industry, how about creating laws to prevent the health care industry industry from mistreating American citizens?
____________________________________________________________
This has been explained many times, and you still don’t get it. But I’ll try again, since I have a few minutes.
In the first place, the government is not trying to “take over” the health industry. This is a meme often repeated by health insurance providers and their followers, in an effort to get people to believe President Obama is proposing to turn us into the Soviet Union — where all medical care will be administered by government doctors, government hospitals, government health facilities, and all care must first go through the government for permission.
You are wasting your time trying to explain to people who have slogans and no facts. They will keep talking about the government takeover and socialism because the protesters don’t care about the facts. In fact, they get confused by facts.
August 7th, 2009 at 1:17 pmlooktothehills says:
Look, the problem with health-care is the people. If fat blubber-butt Americans would get on a treadmill and receive an semi-annual physical, health issues would decrease. This is why I have proposed (via my Congressman) that people who practice bad health habit see an increase of 15% on their premium.
Daryll, if government should stay out of health care, why are you proposing a change to it via your Congressman?

August 7th, 2009 at 1:25 pmb-cup, you bring up a good point (who’d have thought I’d be saying that so soon after post 96?).
I’ve known religious people, and I’ve know truly spiritual people.
An important difference between the two is that truly spiritual people embrace their faith as a way of tackling difficult questions. Merely religious people (like Daryll, I’m guessing) embrace their faith as a way of avoiding those questions.
When certainty creeps into one’s faith life, you can be pretty sure it’s going off the rails.

Of course, when daryll is stan ding in the crowd and hears Jesus say, ‘Anything you refused to do for any of my people here, you refused to do for me.’, he’ll say, “But — but – but — they were blubber-butts! they were lazy! They didn’t want to work to achieve! That’s why I didn’t help them!”
Even then, Daryll will not get it. He’ll still blame the “filthy libs”.
And he’ll be right.

I am proud to see that there are Americans who stand up against possible totalitarianism.
Yeah, that’s right, buddy!!! Everything that is possible that is bad needs to be stopped before it happens! Dern’ tootin’, buddy! Like, when I go into a bar, I ALWAYS look for the possible trouble-makers and go right for them: I mean, if they might just start a fight it would be better for me to blindside them and get it done with in my advantage to begin with. I’m sure that you do the same thing? It only makes sense. I beat my wife pretty regularly because she just might go out and fool around on me. Can’t have that as a possibility hanging over the household.
Had to shoot the dog the other day. I realized that he just might go mad-cow crazy and start killing people who come too near our yard.
It’s a tough world to live in, trying to keep up with all these might do’s, but it is necessary to deal with these possibilities before they materialize so that I don’t have to deal with the possibilities if they happen to happen.
You just never know.
Tomorrow I have to go to the hospital and have both my legs amputated, because one day i just might get gangrene in them. Can’t have that. I suggest everyone else do the same.
August 7th, 2009 at 1:31 pmWhile that may be true, I just have to wonder why Darryl only follows our posts on this site…kinda sick if you ask me, especially since he affiliates that account with the truth of god, which refers to a church run by Gino Jennings…

August 7th, 2009 at 1:33 pmSpencer’s mom has it. I don’t know which Jesus is worshipped at Darryl’s church, but it surely isn’t the Biblical Jesus.
August 7th, 2009 at 1:34 pmralph. I think faith and religion can serve good purposes. I object to those that use the Bible or Koran or similar religious text as ‘the word of God’.
It’s supposing someone definitively knows the will of God. And can use that presumption to act as judge and restrict liberty.
I’m in the middle of Jesus, Interrupted, by this guy:
http://www.salon.com/env/atoms_eden/2009/04/03/jesus_interrupted/
It’s a book that highlights all the inconsistencies between the stories in the Bible and shows how the Bible wasn’t even written by the the people it’s been attributed to (ie, Matthew, John, Luke, etc)
I wonder how many people that think they are being guided by ‘God’s Law’, have ever read it or have any idea what’s even in it.
It’s my take that those empowered by the Bible (Priests, pastors, religious entities) have no desire for what’s really in the Bible to become widely known.
If people start to question the Bible, they’ll start to question those using it to wield power.

It is payback.
Yeah, baby. Also. That is what the core of it really is. Republicans are mad becuase their permanent republican majority (but still democratic — as long as its republicans only) was stolen from them by the majority of the porr, lesser working type people of the country. But they are poor and stupid and shouldn’t be allowed to vote. maybe we can go back to certain people (by color AND by economic status) being worth only 2/5 of a human being. That would reduce their voting impact. they have numbers becasue those abortion loving libs breed like rabbits.
But its all about payback. Not about politics.

That’s right. The poor defenseless republicans spent the last 8 years being oppressed and bullied and threatened, and boy, they finally reached their breaking point (some time in early November of 2008, I do believe, was that final “breaking point” of all this unwarranted harrassment from the left).
And, boy, oh, boy, DID the people speak up about being sick of being harrassed and intimidated and threatened almost daily… on that same early November 2008 morning, massess of people spoke out against fascism and against the oppression of the people.

First of all, that wasn’t a response, it was a sentence that didn’t make sense and was so obtuse that it could have meant anything. Lack of specifics betrays your lack of thought on your position.
I also note that you reject government intervention in industry, yet apparently contacted your Congressman about getting insurance premiums raised on people with unhealthy habits, which is direct involvement.
So, which is it? Involvement good, or involvement bad? Let me guess – good when it serves YOUR purpose, but bad when serves the purpose of others. That would be pathetically typical.

The terrible, terrible, terrible tragedy is that there is a direct unbroken line between Hitler and [the anti-semitic Palestinian Mufti} Husseini on the one hand, and today Hamas and radical Islamic Jihadists on the other hand. They are the heirs of Hitler. Ahmedinejad their spoonsor is the heir of Hitler. Those who are complicit in that evil are complicit in the evil of Nazism. Nazism has not disappeared from the world today. It has the same genocidal goals….
Woe unto any of you out there who support Hamas. You are supporting Hitler’s heirs. Whether you consider yourself a leftist or a centrist, you are complicit in the worst evil of the twentieth century. And there is no way of breaking that bond. As long as Hamas maintains its genocidal attitudes towards the Jewish people…
